Cómo preparar Mashed Potatoes With Variations
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with enough water to submerge them completely.
- Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes well in a colander.
- Return potatoes to the saucepan. Place over low heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking occasionally, to slightly dry them out.
- Meanwhile, combine milk (or cream) and butter (or oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until steaming.
- Add the warm milk mixture to the potatoes.
- Roughly mash the potatoes with a fork.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Do not overbeat; otherwise, they will become gluey.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- For variations, add the desired ingredients (see below) before beating with the electric mixer.
- Spoon mashed potatoes into a warm serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately or freeze for later use (see freezing instructions below).
- **Freezing Instructions:** Spoon mashed potatoes into airtight containers, label, seal, and freeze.
- **Variations:**
- **Pesto Potatoes:** Omit butter/oil. Add 1 cup pesto and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese before beating.
- **Mustard Mash:** Use 1/4 cup butter. Add 1/2 cup grainy Dijon mustard before beating.
- **Lemony Mash:** Use 2 tbsp olive oil. Add 1/2 cup chopped parsley and 1 tbsp lemon zest before beating.
- **Cheese and Onion Mash:** Use 1/4 cup butter. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1 cup shredded Swiss, and 1/2 cup chopped green onions before beating.
- **Posh French Mash (Aligot):** Add 2 peeled garlic cloves to potatoes before boiling. Drain well, returning garlic with potatoes. Mash as above, using 1/4 cup butter. Add 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese before beating.
